It seems I have a problem playing games on my Polaris with stock wm 6.0 ROM. The game runs fine, but, lmost all the times I exit a game the device blocks, I can see parts of the main screen but it is frozen. Only after I do a soft reset I can use the device again. This happens in games like Syberia, Azgard, Pocket UFO, Zuma... etc. Any ideeas ?
Do any of the hardware buttons work? Can you link the hardware button to the task manager and see if you can pull that up and kill the game in the background. That is strange behavior. I haven't played any of those games, maybe a Zuma demo but that's about it. How can you play Syberia anyway, doesn't it lag without drivers?
I linked a hardware button to task manager, but the task manager doesn't start either... the device just freezes. I played Syberia 2 for a short time, sometimes it has a little lag but is playable. It isn't really that 3D, only the characters are, and they look software rendered to me...
I don't remember my device ever freezing up after games. This doesn't happen with any other software? I have the stock WM 6.0 ROM as well. If I ever try any of those games I'll let you know. I used to play pocket UFO on my Hermes back in the day, maybe I'll load it on the Polaris and see how it runs.

How does games react on this phone? Like spb games and astraware?
Can anybody tell me how the phone coupes with games?!?!
Samsung i780
Samsung i780
anyone knows how games play on this format OF 320X320.
because most game or 240x320, so I was wondering how games manage this format.
I got realVGA and I780 Cursor (if I need the cursor keys for a game). If you already have I780kbfix installed, you will need to shut it down before activating I780Cursor. You can find realVGA here in the forums and I780Cursor possibly too.Then you set RealVGA to the highest resolution (96 Dpi, I think) and reboot. If you need cursor keys, for a game, you activate I780Cursor. I recommend you to assign it to some key you don't really need and then always press that key to use 2, 4, 6 and 8 for moving and 5 for "enter". As I mentioned earlier, you have to quit I780kbfix first or you will get a "key hook error" (because both programs want access to the keyboard and only one at a time can have). If you are done with playing, you can press the key assigned to I780Cursor again to write normally again. Btw, I have to add that I didn't play many games on my I780, but the ones I tried worked perfectly.
spb games work perfectly since the company (asking money for them) just makes it accesible for any windows mobile phone on the market. i got spb online and braintester with all kinds of games and they work perfectly. the games adapt to your screensize so i advice their games .
but you can just try games like tangled buggs and so. they work good to.
for real gaming experience mario, rayman, etc. I would like to advice a screen with 230x240 (or higher).

lol, that's like the minimum resolution
Okay, I will start by saying that this machine has been great. But samsung just didnt want to put everything in one phone! not yet anyway...( bad for their long term economics ) . Ok so general complaints are that this phone is 320x320 and does not have 3g for 850 (US). the mouse thingy can be set-up as a slide bar instead of a mouse so it's quite okay.
The 320 x 320 screen causes plenty of incompatabilities with programs, specially games because most games are simply unplayable if they dont function correctly with taps of touchscreen etc. Since we wont have our own section here in XDA, let's pool our thoughts here.
Lets keep this organized and you guys can go as detailed as you guys want. Genre etc. fix or games that do not work. Also put if you're using realvga as some games that work normally do not anymore under realvga.
I will start.
I have 2 games that are my favorite.
More games Orions
More games Azgard Defence
Warfare Inc. (works well)
More games Enslave (installs perfect but this game is just alright.)
I did not want to throw my games away so i tried to find ways. Also this thread would help those who have not bought the games
W/o realvga these games are simply retarded. wont even fit the screen.
Used realvga 96dpi
To get these games to work,
After installation with realvga these games work. The problem is stylus is off and u cant even enter the serial key.
It appears to the side and the location of the taps is the same except it's about an inch down.
1. Enter the serial by guesstimating the height differnce.... you'll get this with patience.
2. Once you have entered the serial, go to options and click reverse screen.
3. SAVE, Quit and reload, now you have a working orions and azgard defense game with proper taps, etc.
So guys any good games out there you can suggest and working and not working fixes. and list the ones that just plain dont work so it saves people time and money.
SPhynx
Games 99% compatible
ScummVM with what games it supports, works 99% perfect.
You just need to rotate screen 2 times to display "portrait" and everything is perfect .
(After first rotation, there is an issue with tapping, you must click under rotation icon rotate screen again to get portrait mode)
After that all the games works fine.
This makes the list of the games that work with the device way longer....
UNO installs and plays well
Kaboom cannot make it
Bejeweled can load but 2 side have black space .. making the game small
Big2 cannot play on i780 ..
what else ?
Games that work perfectly:
Atomic Cannon
Asphalt 4 Elite Racing (AWSOME GAME)
Dark Street
Holy Beast
Amiga Invastion
Mini Golf 2
EA Monopoly (Here and Now)
Pocket Uno
Resco Brain Games
is this games for free? where can i download it?
thanks
I have tried PocketCultMame
http://www.pocketcult.com/home.php
But it is so buggy that it isnt an option for the raphael.
Also tried Pocket Nester for NES.
Nester seems to start the ROMs ok but the key mappings just dont work right.
Anyone got these anything or else to work well?
Curious
I would also like to know if the keyboard works with Pocket Nester. Anyone know?

seems to be a general problem
i have tried all the emulators with virtually no luck at all. Seems none of the keys every work for me
same problem here, it seems that HTC used a different technology to number the keys.
maybe because the touch pro has more buttons than most other devices.
Had same problem with games that use mapping (like worms for ppc, doom 1 & 2, etc), as well as with the DOS emulator.
It's a key mapping problem... when is someone going to create a program to use the capacitive part of the TP as buttons (so we can play and emulate stuff?) :^P
For the moment im playing with the device upsidedown, im using the Up, down, left, right as the D-Pad and strg + shift as A and B button.. not a very practical but it works.. i hope there will be a better solution for this problem..
Play full playstation games
I use FPSEce 0.9.6 beta and it works with red alert retaliation. The intro video is laggy but once you skip that and get into the game menu, its smooth.
You just rip your psx games to .iso format and copy to the SD card.

And when i found no program it went automaticly to the "memory card / disc" Menu all playstations have .. all fine but i was unable to get OUT this menu and had to reset the device in order to get it back up ...
Any thoughts? maybe doing something wrong

Any Updates?
Has there been any progress on this? I really want the Sprint Touch Pro! But if I can't map the keyboard for use with emulators, that would be a deal breaker.
Have you tried FinalBurn?
You can get it from:
http://www.modaco.com/content/smartphone-software-games/247894/finalburn-for-wince-0-014/
FinalBurn emulates CPS1, CPS2 and CPS3 games (including Street Fighter Alpha 3).
However there are several problems:
1. Low FPS during match (other games like XMENVSSTREETFIGHTER are better)
2. Jerky UNPLAYABLE performance with Sound ON.
3. Keyboard can't be mapped
4. Controls mapping issue
The degree to which FPS is impacted is dependant on the game.
This is my experience with the HTC Touch Pro.
I think we need a more optimised FinalBurn version.
Another problem is that the processor has to process 4 times more info for the VGA screen so it will probably work better in QVGA devices.
Unfortunately I've not found a way to adjust in game resolution.
This MAME emulator certainly has potential! Try it!
Here is a great solution for the keyboards issues:

can i ask you what settings you use? already thnx
i googled around for awhile and found a really great and supposedly rare emulator for nes its hard to find in english since its a jap build of nester only problem is games flip upside down in landscape mode but key mapping works great even with out kforraphel.
If someone know how to flip the screen ide really appreciate it since playing with the keyboard on to is pretty wierd.
also anyone have a good gba emulator outhere pocket gba is alright but not perfect...
bump- anyone how to fix the upside down screen in nesterj4u?
i download PocketGBA.cab and copy it to my storage memory..
when I try to install it, it says installation of pocketgba_rel060723.cab was unsuccessful...
i dont undestand why, when in a htc touch of a friend its run flawless..!!
anyone help please??
Go to the webpage for PocketGBA, I installed it following their instructions and it worked just fine. You need to get the CAB that comes with FMOD.
which page is it?? can u send it please.. thx
I think he is referring to the file called "Direct Installation" on this page:
http://sunbug.net/products/view/141
It's not a CAB file, but it's a zip file with the FMOD dll included. It works on my TP, but I can't really control anything because the directional pad on the TP doesn't work for crap, and I can't play vertically with the keyboard either because the screen rotates in the wrong direction.
Is anyone able to actually play PocketGBA on their TP? If so how?
bump i have the same issue. does anyone have a well working gba emulator?
Bump
Also looking for a rock solid GBA emulator.
man this really blows some of my fav games cant be played on gba emulator just because of the full screen orientation. Many others also fail like 10 min into the game when i open shop or enter a battle sequence. the only one i have found that works decently is golden something 2 but i runs slow I wish someone with the know how could just update pocket gba
i have no issues with pocketgba..ive been playing through final fantasy VI advance and it runs alot better than my tilt did (even tho pocketgba STOPPED working after wm6.1 came out and it just would crash when a game was loaded) and i havent had ANY crashes on my fuze...
pocketGBA works for some games, but some other games get only 5fps even with sound off.
Super Mario world and Pokemon FireRed are two such examples.
Im not sure if this topic is even alive, but to all of you who tried the cab and it failed...Download this its a standalone version of it http://www.1800pocketpc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/pocketgba.zip
Its alive, thanks for the contribution. now people without a pc hookup can play too.
well are there any gba emulators that handles in playing in landscape mode?.. well as for configuration of the hardware keys we could use an app called KforRaphael.. it doesnt keymap but it's a workaround.. well predefined keymap... well do anyone know of any landscape mode gba emulators or is that something we have to wait for?
from what i've seen all the emu projects except for ps1 are dead... it makes me sad
Please help, I cannot get any game emulators to work on my FUZE.
Actually, I play using the d-pad... but if you really wanna another emulator, try morphgear. I hear it has on screen buttons...

Are you playing it on WIFI or Mobile Internet?
The same thing happened on my LG G4 and my friend's Nexus 5X - lag when reaching the 30 second. Probably it is game/network related as it is mostly happens whrn playing against somebody from the other side of the world.
Lags occurs whether i'm playing on wifi or mobile internet.
I dont have such problem on my samsung A3
I have been playing a lot of clash royale but never encountered such lag issue. Have you tried reinstalling it?
If you search on the web, lag in this game is present across Android and iOS - different devices, strangely some people have it, some not. As the game is played through internet, it can be a number of things, but most like internet connection/server related.
Well I'm the only one person I know with this problem.
I have no lag on my Samsung A3.
According to this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/highly-saturated-lagging-playing-games-t3330344/page4), S7 seems to suck a lot.
And the solution provided in the post dont work for me
Same problem on clash royale, also when deploying some units like prince mini pekka etc.. most 2d games seems to stutter at some point (i.e. puzzle & dragons), while it's butter smooth on my iphone.
Some custom kernels helps but it's not perfect.
I guess if you buy something, the lag will magically disappear...
